Quotes to ponder:

"Family always comes first." My mom used to tell me when I was little.

"What helped both of us heal from the pain was the acceptance that not all family is worth putting first."

"But you don't have to be a victim of toxic family drama, you can take control of the situation and stop toxic family members from draining your energy and damaging your mental health."
